What is ELB?

Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) is a load balancing service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, in one or more Availability Zones. This increases the availability and fault tolerance of your applications. ELB automatically scales its load balancing capacity to handle changes in incoming traffic. Common use cases include distributing web traffic across multiple web servers, routing requests to different backend services based on content, and ensuring high availability by automatically failing over to healthy instances.
